Dennis Lillee on seeing Mitchell Johnson bowl declared him as ‘once-in-a-generation bowler’, even Ricky Ponting was publicly gushing about the abilities of Johnson and had said that he could not wait to have him in his team. Armed with the support of such greats he made his debut for Australia again New Zealand in 2005. Though it was an unremarkable debut he impressed the observers with the speed and the bounce he generated. His breakthrough performance came when he dismantled a powerful Indian batting line-up in DLF Cup in Malaysia with four wickets in four overs. From there on it was no looking back for the left arm seamer as he gradually became Australia’s pace spearhead when Brett Lee was laid low by an ankle injury.
